KG, Rheinmetal Defence Electronics GmbH and VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH joined the initiative.
With the publication in 2006 members of BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH, Daimler AG, DLR e.V., Fraunhofer-Institut IVI, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. The standard is reviewed and released by a core team of driving simulation experts. OpenDRIVE is managed by VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH and the user community. Vehicle Dynamics and Traffic Simulation via a layer of routines for the evaluation of the information contained in the file. The OpenDRIVE data is made available to e.g. They do not describe the entities acting on or interacting with the road. OpenDRIVE files which are in XML format are designed to describe entire road networks with respect to all data belonging to the road environment. What I wonder is where they got this kind of information before mobile lidar. Now you may be thinking, what do driving simulators have to do with 3D laser scanning?Ī quick look at the image above should give you a big clue, especially if you are in the mobile lidar business. The first release of the OpenDrive standard was in 2005. The idea was to create a standard for driving simulators. In 2005 a visionary group which included Daimler Driving Simulator, Stuttgart and VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH started the OpenDrive initiative. I think most people in the 3D laser scanning industry will agree that ASTM E57 has led to increased productivity and improved communication. As many of you know Lidar News has been a long standing proponent of the need for standards.
